LASSERT Question

[Richard Heck]

Consider:
void Text::setFont(Cursor & cur, Font const & font)
{
    LASSERT(this == cur.text(), /**/);
    // Set the current_font
    // Determine basis font
    FontInfo layoutfont;

Wouldn't it be better to return here if the assertion fails? Continuing 
seems like we're inviting disaster, whereas returning just aborts what 
we're doing.

I've seen this same pattern a lot of places. I wouldn't propose to 
change all of them at once, but if this seems right we could try to 
change them as we see them.
